In celebration of the SpaceX successfully landing their booster on its sea platform for the second time enclosing a pattern of a real rocket. I was at Cape Canaveral when this system had its first launch.

I've shared this pattern with a different perspective but started playing with the bas relief add on to blender and needed a model to play with. It took me close to an hour trying to figure out how to use it again. It does a great job converting 3d models to depth maps.

Does anyone have a Navy Officer symbol suitable for carving that you would be willing to share-Please?

[oscarl48]

I'm home today and I am modeling. Do you have picture of what you are looking for? Ex-Air Force so not too familiar with Navy stuff.

Here is my attempt. Took a jpg from the web and ran it through my system. (Here is also a png in case more editing is desired.)

Dan,

Nice find. Here is the problem with the Navy. Thanks to their 40,000 years of history they have like 80,000 symbols. (okay, maybe not that many). That is their ROTC emblem. The Naval Academy has their own though I think their OCS is the same as ROTC. Then after graduating they also get a rank and specialty code which sometimes are interchangeable and sometimes not. I've worked with the Navy on and off for the last decade and their rank naming structure still confuses me.

Army, Air Force and Marines are all the same. Navy had to be different.

I know nothing of all this! I just hope what I found was what he wanted!

[oscarl48]

lol. you probably did. I don't think anyone outside of the Navy knows.
